What Kind Of Day Has It Been

• President Obama's poll numbers have jumped.


• Don't Ask, Don't Tell cost U.S. taxpayers $200 million. So, discrimination is not only wrong, damaging to U.S. national security, and founded on a bogus premise, it is expensive.


• Donald Trump attacked the Obama administration for holding a state dinner for President Hu Jintao on Fox & Friends. He repeated his criticism on CNN's Situation Room this afternoon. Despite his claims of indecision, I would say these potshots are a pretty clear indicator he is running for President.


• Blackwater may or may not be mixed up with mercenaries in Africa--mercenaries that are helping to train and defend the Somali Transitional Federal Government.
